Saw Larry a couple times live.
When I saw him he had the audience really engaged in his performance.
I was with a radio station so I got free admission and I should have pressed for an interview - but that wasn’t his thing anyway.
In his early years, Norman wanted local bookers to have an audience that was at least 50% non-church types. He wasn’t into just entertaining Christians.
In his later years he would often do concerts just to pay the medical bills for treatment of his heart condition. He died at age 60 from his heart condition, leaving this world too young.
